Home Buying
While most people find that buying a home very time-consuming and stressful, I have always loved looking at potential homes and considering which would work best for us. Usually, the home "speaks" to me. This move, finding a house was beyond stressful and to be honest, a lot of hair pulling happened due to a realtor who wanted to be friends and not a crackerjack negotiator!
On a side note: our California home sold within 48 hours of listing and our realtor there is the best in the business!!!
Humor me while we take a break for an ad: If you need a realtor, California friends, don't hesitate to call Victor Pais at Lyons Realty. He goes above and beyond what normal agents will. As I said, he is the best in the biz...
Here in Heber, I had a home speak to me, but it was too old to buy, some of you might have seen pictures of the home, an early 1900's gem of a diamond located in downtown Heber City. Sadly, the chance of having big ticket fixes was a risk we didn't want to take. Besides the fact that it was two blocks away from Town Hall and that is never a smart move for us. We seem to always get people coming to the house when we live close to Matt's work for small problems that could be, and would be, fixed easily during business hours. 😉
Mckenna, My sister-in-law Lynette and I looked at old houses, mountain houses, brand new houses that were move-in-ready, houses with postcard-sized yards, and even houses where the Heber Creeper traveled every day right off the backyard, then "I" looked at the house we ultimately chose and decided it was the home where family and friends can come and enjoy their time together!

Q: Did you know that houses are now sold "broom swept", no one has to clean their homes like they used to. I mean, literally, we had to hire a carpet cleaner because the previous owners had 2 cats. I had so much stuff to do and had already cleaned our California home so we hired a cleaning company too. There was Redheart Super Saver yarn skein sized cat hairballs that came out of the carpet cleaners hose, and still, our cleaner was vacuuming up more when they came. Even after the cleaning, we have found hairs everywhere! Sick, right?
Also, on a side note: People, take care of your own crap, throw it out, take it to the dump if it's oversized as some of the stuff left behind was here. The new buyers shouldn't have to take care of dumping your furniture and trash because you couldn't be bothered. Seriously, it costs money, you know???
